[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9535374, member: 16407"]It's not Hopi. Others are right: Casas Grandes, Northern Mexico, related to the Mata Ortiz pottery of the last 50 years. The question is whether it's really, really old, or 50 years old. Based on the wear, and the brightness of the lines and colors, I'm inclined to say it's a more contemporary effigy pot made 'in the style of' those very old pieces. It's an interesting piece, and probably well worth what you woulda paid for it at an estate sale, but probably not a way-old piece.[/QUOTE]
